Item description

Vintage original Revised Script from the popular 1950's television comedy series, THE DENNIS O'KEEFE SHOW, produced by Cypress Productions, Inc. and taped at the Hal Roach Studios in Culver City, California. It is from Season 1, Episode 10, which was entitled There Goes the Groom, in which Hal Towne's (Dennis O'Keefe) publisher friend asks for help, as his 21 year-old son has become entangled with a flashy showgirl. While Hal is successful in liberating the young man, he then finds himself the object of the woman's attentions. The cast includes Hope Emerson, Rickey Kelman, Eloise Hardt, Eddie Ryder, and Barbara Nichols. This vintage original revised script, written by John Fenton Murray (the show's creator), is dated March 24, 1959 as revised March 26, 1959 and was taped on April 1, 2, and 3. It consists of 41 pages on white stock with the revised pages on light blue stock which were 3-hole punched and bound with two brass brads between a medium blue cardstock front and back cover. This script is complete in overall very fine- condition. The front cover has a vertical crease through the "S" in "SHOW," which affected the first two pages (the title page and credits page). The back cover exhibits only very slight signs of wear. The Dennis O'Keefe Show is an American sitcom produced by Cypress Production/United Artists Television. Oโ€™Keefe portrays Hal Towne, a widower who is trying to balance his career as a newspaper columnist ("All Around Towne") and raise his 9-year-old son, Randy (Rickey Kelman) in an apartment in New York City with the help of a tough but lovable housekeeper, Amelia Sargent, better known as "Sarge," played by Hope Emerson. The series aired at 8 p.m. Eastern on Tuesdays for sponsor General Motors' Oldsmobile division with competition from the last half of two hour-long western series, Laramie, on NBC, with Sugarfoot and Bronco, alternating on ABC, one of their many Warner Brothers offerings at that time. It was not a ratings success during its original run and was canceled after one season (September 22, 1959โ€”June 7, 1960). The series was largely forgotten until a "Best Of" DVD release by Alpha Video during 2004. Certain episodes of the show can also be seen at the Internet Archive. John Fenton Murray created the program, and Les Hafner was the producer. Abby Berlin, Jerry Hopkins, James V. Kern, and Don Weis were directors. Writers included Bob Fisher, Benedict Freedman, Robert Gottlieb, Seaman Jacobs, Joel Kane, Alan Lipscott, Jack Michael, Murray, and Si Rose.
